23-year-old journalist Plestia Alaqad, like many Gazans, lost her home in the first days after October 7. unable to reenter her homeland, stuck watching the horror continue, she’s publishing her diaries from reporting on the ground.

For #BannedBooksWeek, we’re highlighting the unjust censorship of political books which impacts countless incarcerated readers each year.

For every book purchased from this reading list, we will be sending a book to someone who is incarcerated.

Greta Thunberg, deported to Greece, says the targeting of the Sumud Flotilla is "not the story" @teenvogue.com — instead, she says:

"Israel once again violated international humanitarian law by preventing aid from getting into Gaza while people are being starved.”

The FAA is delaying flights at Newark and Denver airports because they haven’t got enough air traffic control. Burbank has zero ATC from 4.30-10pm.

Lots of controllers who aren’t being paid during the government shutdown are calling in sick.

I think the myth of objectivity is what allows people to believe that GAI can output a meaningful summary.

Prior knowledge doesn't matter, context doesn't matter, relationships don't matter, so a summary written in a particular 'style' is fine.

I spoke to a Venezuelan woman who was arrested in this raid and later released with her 4yo son. She said agents broke down their door, pointed guns at them and made sexualized remarks about Venezuelan women. When she returned to her apartment it was boarded up and all her possessions were gone.

Another video from Amsterdam shows the massive crowd that gathered for Palestine.

Over 250,000 people wearing red flooded the streets of Amsterdam today in a massive demonstration for Palestine.

AAUP President Todd Wolfson unpacks the dangerous consequences of the Trump administration’s compact, which aims to exert ideological control over universities and colleges. As Wolfson makes clear, this partisan incursion into higher education affects ALL sectors.

if you’ve ever even quietly thought “i would just move,” now’s your chance to pony up and make that possible for not just someone but three someones.

In case it wasn’t clear, the anti-DEI crusade has never been about merit. Zero news experience. Never been a reporter. Elevated to Editor in Chief of CBS News, one of the most storied news institutions in the nation. www.mediaite.com/media/news/p...

University presidents it’s time for a united front. I mean, it’s past time. What are you going to do.

Like Mahmoud Khalil's case, Mario Guevara's shows how courts will let the Trump administration use facially legal, bureaucratic mechanisms in unconstitutional ways. In a concurrence, Judge Kidd stresses that the First Amendment protects Guevara. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Vaccines help protect those who can't get vaccinated, including babies like this one 💔

We need a bigger national spotlight on this building raid, fam. Agents dropped from helicopters onto the roof. Citizens and non-citizens alike were dragged from their homes in the night. People who weren't kidnapped during the raid had their belongings seized after the fact. This is madness.

In an interview with the Center for the Defense of Academic Freedom, Maura Finkelstein discusses the coordinated campaign that led to the unjust termination from her position as tenured professor at Muhlenberg College—a decision that violated AAUP codes of academic freedom & due process.

Even the way they were transporting them is illegal. Using UHaul vans

@uhaul.bsky.social these EVERY ONE OF THESE AGENCIES should be blacklisted nationwide from renting your vans. Look how they are being used.

“It was heartbreaking to watch,” said Watson. “Even if you’re not a mother, seeing kids coming out buck naked and taken from their mothers, it was horrible.”…

“Stuff was everywhere…people’s birth certificates, and papers thrown all over. Water was leaking into the hallway. It was wicked crazy.”

What DHS pulled in Chicago on Tuesday is wildly unconstitutional. They smashed down almost every door in the building, dragged entire families into the street, and detained people for hours ("Kavanaugh stops").

Ms. Fisher was held for five hours and another senior citizen was held for three hours.

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government.

They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights.

We must fight back.

In a city of world-class artists and production crew hunting for the next gig, Andrew Cuomo made a TV ad the same way he wrote his housing policy: with AI.

Then again, maybe a fake Cuomo is better than the real one?

⚠ In short, the ICE officer who was LOUDLY relieved of duty Fri. for violently shoving a woman to the ground last week, was QUIETLY reinstated yesterday. Today, ICE agents at the SAME facility sent a journalist to the hospital.

ICE agents shoved multiple journalists while they were doing their jobs. One had to go to the hospital.

It’s the first of the month, a day that brings dread and uncertainty for so many struggling tenants.

And for the 2+ million New Yorkers in stabilized apartments, this month means another rent hike — the fourth in a row under this Mayor.

But change is coming.
